Imran Ali pleaded guilty to nine offences and was ordered to pay just over £2,000 for the offences.
The court heard that when officers visited the property in Bullingdon Road on 30 August 2012 to issue a House in Multiple Occupation licence they found several breaches.
There were several issues in the house including no notices displayed with the landlords details, kitchen tiles broken, the cooker located in an unsafe place as there was no sufficient work surface either side for hot pans and the door frame to the ground floor bathroom being damaged.
They also found that there were lose wires on the first and second floor landing, the rear garden was full of debris and rubbish and the stair carpet was worn and loosely fitted.
Mr Ali pleaded guilty to all nine offences and was fined a total of £2,350 with £200 costs awarded to the Council. He appeared at Oxford Magistrates’ Court on Friday 22 March 2013.
